    shaking when accelerating

    shaking when accelerating

    tested today, no shaking in 3rd or 4th, only in 5th 6th at full throttle round 2000rpm. above 2500 rpm it stops. i went to the second repair shop also said inner joints are worn and they only change complete halfshat.

    Audi A4 B8 2011 CAHA engine cranks but doesnt start?
